1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundDigoxin treatment has come under scrutiny in recent years after reports from several studies that it is associated with increased mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The clinical effects of digoxin on mortality were closely related to serum digoxin concentrations (SDC) in these studies. In the present work, we evaluated the role of the SAMe-TT

methodsMedical records from our institution were screened for patients who were under digoxin treatment between 2008 and 2018. A total of 2418 patients for whom SDC were recorded were included in the study. An SDC of <0.5 or >1.2 ng/ml was defined as being out of the therapeutic range (oTR).

resultsIn multivariable regression analyses, abnormal body mass index (odds ratio [OR]: 1.59, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29-1.95, p < 0.01), white blood cell count (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.01-1.27, p < 0.01), and the modified SAMe-TT

conclusionDigoxin is still widely used in the treatment of heart failure and AF despite concerns about the increased risk of mortality when levels are oTR. In the present study, the modified SAMe-TT
